Official Description

This document is a Mission Report (MISREP), a standardized reporting form the U.S. Military uses to record the circumstances surrounding its operations. U.S. military services often use MISREPs to report Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) to AARO. The GENTEXT, or “general text” section of these reports often contains important qualitative, contextual information, distinguishing it from the more quantitative, or numerical, data found elsewhere in the report. A U.S. military operator reported observing a UAP “flying just above the surface of the ocean.” The report describes the UAP as taking “multiple 90-degree turns at an estimated 80 mph.” All descriptive and estimative language contained in this report reflects the reporter’s subjective interpretation at the time of the event. Such characterizations should not be interpreted as a conclusive indication of the presence or absence of any intrinsic object features or performance characteristics.

Key Findings

• →At 0035Z on 27 October 2023, an airborne ISR platform observed one possible UAP flying just above the surface of the ocean water, described as 'seemingly circular, too small to make out details.'
• →The UAP executed multiple 90-degree turns at an estimated velocity of 80 mph; UAP maneuverability is listed as 'sharp 90 degree turns.'
• →The UAP was observed from 0035Z to 0038Z (approximately three minutes) before the crew lost it from their sensor feed.
• →The observer assessed the UAP as 'benign,' with no effects on persons or equipment, no signatures detected, and no indication of intelligent control recorded.
• →Full Motion Video (FMV) of the mission was exploited by a Ground Exploitation Team (GET); the primary sensor used was FMV with a AN/DAS-4 targeting pod and G-MESH sensors.
